going to try to build an OU balance team again since it's been like a year since I built a balance team, I'm kind of tired of building offense (both hyper-offense and bulky offense, though I trend toward the former) teams, and I think I've proven that I'm irredeemably bad at building stall/semi-stall teams (and they bore me to death anyway).

    Hmm... I can never bring myself to going by tiers. Should I? My team has stuff like adamant Mega Beedrill with heavy investment into attack and speed EVs with a good speed IV. But then I come up with stuff like Eviolite Rhydon, Focus Sash Kingler, and Probopass. Just Probopass. Those haven't worked for me yet but I like to have them on my team...

    rhydon and probopass are actually quite effective in their respective tiers (NU and PU, respectively) for that matter, Rhydon isn't unusable in OU since it has high Attack, a good STAB combination, decent bulk thanks to Eviolite, and Rock Polish to boost its poor speed. too bad Ground-types and Scald are everywhere in OU but if you don't want to play by the Smogon tiers you don't have to

    I study Smogon alot despite not playing with tiers... I've since evolved my Rhydon into a Rhyperior for dex completion. It's usable in RU and OU formats from what the site tells me and has actually done me quite well. i dunno what i'm going on about here.

    well I mean you don't have to let the Smogon analyses deter you from using a specific Pokémon in a certain tier, Slurpuff doesn't have an OU analysis for example and I've had a decent amount of success with it while playing OU but yeah, Rhyperior is certainly usable in OU. I personally think it's a tad outclassed by Tyrantrum as a Rock-type wallbreaker but it does have advantages that (cont)

    (cont) make it worth using such as STAB on Earthquake, an immunity to Thunder Wave, and better bulk, among other things.
